Chiefs RB Damien Williams Ruled Out Against Ravens in Big Loss for Backfield
By Michael Luciano
Before they prepare to take on one of the most aggressive defensive units in the league, the Kansas City Chiefs will need to make do without their top running back.
Damien Williams, who has started the last two games, will not play in the Chiefs' game against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens.
Eric Fisher, Tyreek Hill and Damien Williams will not play on Sunday against the Ravens, per Andy Reid.

After four years in Miami, Williams had a very nice stretch for Kansas City after the Kareem Hunt debacle, rushing for 5.1 yards per carry and scoring six total touchdowns. He has been a major disappointment this year, however, averaging just 1.5 yards per carry and 34 yards rushing through two games.
With Williams out, LeSean McCoy, who was a full participant in practice this week, and sixth-round pick Darwin Thompson, should be in line for most of the work.
Andy Reid said LeSean McCoy was a full participant in today’s practice.

Relying on a declining 31-year-old and a rookie out of Utah State is not the situation Andy Reid and the Chiefs wanted to find themselves in ahead of a game against Earl Thomas and a loaded Baltimore D.
